“Dear PoPville,

My wife and I are looking for a place to buy and found a wonderful place on Lincoln on T NE in Eckington but don’t know much about the neighborhood. We’re familiar with Bloomingdale but I’m interested in hearing what your readers think of Eckington. Thanks.”

Ed. Note: In a complete coincidence, I have an owner request rental option in Eckington going up at 3pm today.

From MPD:

A homicide occurred at 101 T Street NE (McKinley Tech H.S.) at approximately 8:30 PM on June 3, 2011.

Fifth District units responded to the scene, along with members of multiple other units of the Metropolitan Police Department. An investigation was conducted by detectives of the Violent Crimes Branch.

I would like to express my thanks to the community and specifically the large group of citizens who were asked to remain on the school campus while the investigation on scene was conducted. I am aware of the hardships and difficulties this may have posed for many of you. The attitudes we encountered were refreshingly polite and showed an understanding of the situation I have never encountered before. Your support and understanding as a group assisted us as members of the department working such a serious investigation greatly. Thank you.

Sergeant Sean R. Conboy
Fifth District
